His remarks guarantee a repug backlash, no matter the outcome of the investigation, so Dems best not hold back on anything, including hitting subpoena scofflaws with inherent contempt. Congress has jail cells so lock em up!
Oh, gawd, Newt, you cold-blooded bug-eater, will you EVER shut up and crawl back under your rock and STAY there for a while?! You keep popping up like a teenager's zit.
Know what'd be cool? If the Dems DID act like wolves. Working together as a cohesive unit, dispatching their prey with efficiency and leaving nothing behind but a few scraps of bloody fur.
So what Newt seems to be saying, if in 2024 a crowd of left wing nutcases storm the Capitol and try to overturn election results he would see no need to investigate if anyone in the Democrat leadership might be behind it. I am sure that would be the GOP reaction since they so rarely conduct meaningless investigations and wont stand for it in tbe future. Yeah right, that's it.
Long ago, Mr. Gingrich turned into a Newt. He hasn't gotten better.
He also plays the same shtick that he played long ago, when he could still get elected: He pushes the envelope. It's really all that he knows how to do. He can't pull the envelope back; he can only push it.
Even so, our Newt is useful for the Republican Party today. Just a year or two after our totally broken Legislative Branch failed to hold our former Chief Executive responsible for inciting insurrection, the Judicial Branch is taking over and may yet succeed. Some of our elected Republicans, habitual insurrection pushers whose supporters won't let them quit, are starting to feel concerned that they may be held responsible, too.
This is where Newt comes in. He holds no more elected office and can therefore claim, with a straight face, that he has no more influence and therefore cannot be held criminally responsible for inciting insurrection. So elected Republicans who once pushed insurrection but are now getting cold feet can just sit back and let Newt do it for them. For extra protection against responsibility, they can criticize Newt today for his overheated rhetoric. Better yet, they can do it quietly, in writing, and present this writing later, as a legal defense, in case the next insurrection fails like the last one did.
On the other hand, the next insurrection may succeed. In this case, our Newt will feel entitled to boast that his predictions have all come true. He might even be rewarded with a profitable post in the new single-party minority Republican regime.
Except Newt was a bomb- and flame-throwing nihilist when he got to Congress, where he began subverting the GOP from within. What we are seeing is the devolution of the demagogue that weaponized US politics, who took over the Nazification of the GOP from Lee Atwater and Paul Weyrich, slipping into senility.
I'm flagging this, although Dok probably will give you a pass. Since you may be illiterate, have someone you know read you the following:
5. Try not to be a bunch of goddamned misogynists. That includes calling rightwing women sluts or otherwise demeaning them solely as sexual figures. Attack their politics, not the fact that they're women.
However, it appears you lack the spine to attack the actual problem, Newtie, and are going for the girl. Jeebus. I doubt you can spell or explain the concept of 'integrity.' (have someone explain that to you)

There are very few people I actually want to die.
Prevent a "Nuclear-capable China"? He's going to need Doc Brown for that one.

Why can't he just get Covid and die? That would be the responsible thing for him to do.

When some people acquire power, they act like wolves.
Yeah, and when some disgraced former House speakers become pundits, they take to slaughtering irony for sport.
